Pixel 10a Leak Gives Us First Glimpse at Google’s Next Affordable Phone

This could be our first glimpse at the Google Pixel 10a. The phone’s alleged back cover has surfaced online. Well, judging on the logo on the back, this is a back cover of the phone’s prototype.

The Google Pixel 10a back cover gives us first glimpse at the company’s next-gen budget phone

You can see the aforementioned back cover below. You’ll immediately notice that the design is quite similar to what the Google Pixel 9a offers. The camera bar is no more, and there is a cutout in the top-left corner for the cameras.

Judging by the size of the cutout, this handset will also include two cameras, just like its predecessor. The LED flash could be moved further to the right, though, based on what we’re seeing here.

The back cover is flat, as was the one on the Pixel 9a. The frame will once again be flat all around, which is to be expected considering the Google Pixel 10 series design.

This back cover was listed online, but sold in the meantime

This back cover was listed on the Chinese auction site called ‘Goofish’. It was listed as ‘Google Pixel 10A engineering back cover’. It is now listed as ‘sold out’. The image provided is not the best, but it does give us a glimpse at what’s coming, probably.

The Google Pixel 10a is expected to arrive at the very end of Q1 next year. The Pixel 9a launched in March this year. So we’re still far away from that point. It remains to be seen if this leak is accurate.

The Google Pixel 10 series launch is much closer, though. The devices are expected to arrive on August 20, all four of them. The Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are coming, as most of you probably already know.
